Premier urges more effort to cut red tape
Print Edition
CHINESE Premier Li Keqiang is calling for more efforts to streamline administration procedures and scale back government controls to unleash economic vitality.
The government will cancel more approval items, make enterprise registration easier and waive administrative charges it deems unreasonable this year, Li said during a national teleconference of China’s senior and middle-level officials.
The transformation of government functions should address people’s concerns, improve government services and strengthen supervision to guarantee a transparent, orderly and just market environment, Li said.
The meeting underlined the leadership’s resolution to tackle red tape, in the hope of promoting a more streamlined and efficient economy.
Last Wednesday, during a State Council meeting, the premier expressed his displeasure at excessive regulation and red tape, ridiculing scenarios in which citizens were asked to prove “your mother is your mother” when obtaining a government permit.
Fighting red tape has become more pressing as China’s growth slows, and reform measures are rolled out to steer the economy away from its unsustainable model, powered by state-directed investment, to more vital growth engines such as private consumption and services.
